Question

Brij had 384 pages to write. By the evening, he had completed 25% of his work. How many pages were left?

Answer 1

Answer:

let number of pages = x

25% of 384 = x

25/100 × 384 = x

25/25 × 96= x

25/25 gets cancelled

therefore 96= x

here we found out how much he completed

so to find out leftover pages we have to subtract

384 - 96 = 288

therefore he has 288 pages left
